The BHMS Leo Club meets every Wednesday after school in Room S-4. Mrs. Wendy Svenson is the club advisor and the club is sponsored by the Rancho Bernardo Lions Club. In addition to our weekly meetings, we've participated in numerous community service projects throughout the years such as beach clean-ups, Trick-or-Treat for UNICEF, making and delivering Valentines to patients at Villa Pomerado, raised funds to help Cedar fire victims from BHMS,  assisting with the San Diego Walk for Autism, and making blankets for the homeless, to name a few.  Other projects have included collecting glasses for Sight Night at Halloween, making placemats for Interfaith Social Services in Escondido at Thanksgiving, making blankets for the Alpha Project, and participating in the Lions/Leo pancake breakfast at RBHS.

The objective of the Leo Club Program is to provide club members with an opportunity for development and contribution, individually and collectively, as responsible members of the local, national and international community.

The Leo club motto is Leadership, Experience, Opportunity.

Leadership traits - organization skills, time management, personal motivation - develop when young people complete community service projects.

Experience when serving the community teaches young people the importance of cooperation.

Opportunity for growth, maturity, and a new perspective of the community occur when young people perform community service.

As you can see, community service remains the cornerstone of the program. Leo Club members enjoy serving their neighbors and watching positive results unfold.
